How to Check EPFO Claim Status

Checking EPFO claim status has never been easier. With the new age technologies, you can check your claims status online. Sitting at the comfort of your home, you just have to log in to the official website and perform a simple procedure. And within minutes, you will get your EPFO claim status.

The EPFO portal is a fully digitized portal and the government of India has improved it recently. If you know your provident fund account number, it is going to be very easy for you to know your EPFO claim status. Just follow the steps given here.

Go to the Official Website

The EPFO has a web portal catering to the needs of the people. So first of all, you have to open this web portal and login to it.

Select the Correct Option

The option saying “Click here for knowing the claim status” is right there on the home page. You would need to click on this option.

Select your State

After that, you will get a drop down list from which you would need to select the location of EPFO office. Depending upon where your employer is, you would need to give correct details here. A good idea here would be to consult this beforehand with your employer so that you don’t make any mistakes.

Submit your Details

After this step, you will get to a page which will ask you for details. You need to enter your establishment code and extension number. Though the establishment code is a mandatory field, the extension number is not. So, if you don’t have such a number, don’t panic and just leave it blank. Also, you would need to enter your account number. Keep in mind that this is the PF account number.

Once you are sure that all the details are correct, click on the submit button.

Know your Details

As soon as the information gets submitted, the system will retrieve the details of your claim. And, you would be able to see it on your screen.

How to Check EPFO Claim Status Offline

If you are not very comfortable with online working of the EPFO website, you can also check for EPFO claims status offline. However, you would need to go to the EPF office yourself.

Once you go there, they would give you the required form. You will need to fill in all the details correctly and then submit the form there itself. After a few days, you would get your EPF claim status. In some of the situations though, they take months to tell you your claim status. So, it is better to look for it online.

Grievance Management Portal

You would be glad to know that the EPF office has its own grievance management portal as well. In case you are unable to find out your claim status, you can register a grievance easily. Just click on the “Register Grievance” button and write about your problem. You can also attach files to your grievance.

If you have any questions regarding the procedure to know your EPFO claims status, please post to us in the comments section below. We would try to resolve it as soon as possible.
